    Abstract: Provided is a 2-dimensional virtual array probe for 3-dimensional ultrasonic imaging. The probe includes: an ultrasonic transducer; a metallic probe body including an ultrasonic wave emission surface in which a plurality of wave-guides are arranged in 2-dimensional array and a ? sphere-shaped recess for irregularly reflecting ultrasonic wave emitted from the ultrasonic transducer in an inside thereof; a piezoelectric sheet arranged on the ultrasonic wave emission surface to make contact with an object to be inspected and configured to pass the ultrasonic waves emitted from the probe toward the object to be inspected and output a signal by detecting the ultrasonic waves reflected from the object to be detected; and a control unit configured to control the ultrasonic transducer so that the plurality of wave-guides sequentially generate ultrasonic wave.
